Professional, gets to the heart of the matter very quickly and provides an action plan that works. Listens well to the parents. Also was wonderful at diagnosing another child's reflux and lactose intolerance at only a few weeks of age which saved our sanity. He has great rapport with kids.
Could be improved: Nothing. Top class pediatrician!

Dr Timms treated my daughter who had reflux and was keeping us awake all night. He was caring and the treatment really worked. He is funny at times and tells it as it is...the good with the bad. I respect that.

Worst doctor I ever saw in terms of compassion - first timer, got lost on the way, late for 15min, he refused to talk, to listen to reasons, got charged for $200 cancellation fee without being given a chance....
